You have created a false idol based on man’s DNA and not on the Blood of Christ. Hence, you have terribly demeaned the Cross of Christ. You have created a Replacement Theology all of your own: Race instead of Grace.

Well, you're wrong. God's promised to Abraham's seed are everlasting, including those according to the flesh.

Until and unless God breaks the covenant with Abraham, that covenant according to the flesh is still in effect.

Romans 11:1 1I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? 3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life." 4But what is God’s reply to him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal." 5So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

Romans 11:25-29 25 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I want you to understand this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,

"The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob"; 27"and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins."

28As regards the gospel, they are enemies of God for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

“Until and unless God breaks the covenant with Abraham, that covenant according to the flesh is still in effect.”

Answer:

God already fulfilled the Abrahamic covenant at the Cross. End of story.

a) Before the Cross. … Jeremiah 31: 31:

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:”

b) During the 70th Week, in the very midst of the week, Jesus Himself confirms that same Covenant, … Matthew 26: 28:

“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”

c) After its fulfillment, the epistle writer reiterates the confirmation of this Covenant, … Hebrews 9: 15:

“And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.”

Are you saying this fulfillment of God’s Covenant is not sufficient?

ABSOLUTELY INDEED.

What is so difficult about understanding that . . . otherwise . . . Christ’s EVERLASTING PROMISES TO THE CHURCH would be worthless, too.

. . . sounds like a lot of folks understanding has been darkened . . . frightful.
